Looks like Nevada Wonderstone (Rhyolite) to me...
EDIT - If you search Wonderstone in the tumbling section, you'll get a bunch of examples of what it would look like tumbled...if it is Wonderstone.

I agree wonderstone, Nevada or Utah mostly. It can go the entire range from porous stuff that won't polish at all to a porcelain like shine.

Couple questions can anyone tell me what this is? Two do you think it will tumble well? Seems fairly hard, couldnt scratch the small one with a nail, it was a piece that fell off the larger 2 rocks. I would grab them, but I dont think the bank they are in front of would take too kindly to that, so photos will have to be good enough other than the small piece that the kind bank lady said I could have(I think she just wanted to make the weird guy super excited about the rock go away) lol Where are you? "Indian Blanket" from Enterprise Utah was sold for awhile as ornamental stone all over SW Utah - around buildings, filling road dividers, etc. Whoever bought it has been heavily raided.
